During the GBBC recently, two of us observed a totally white grackle in a 
large flock of several thousand birds near Opal, VA.  It was a stunning 
bird with that fan tail, and was very easy to spot when they took flight 
en masse.  We never got close enough to see if it had eye pigment 
(leucistic vs albino).
